Hi Ujjval <br><br>I have had this problem also with malicious hackers attacking my voicemail boxes and making outbound calls to International destinations (Usually the Phillipines).<br><br>For the time being - I have disabled all outbound dialing through the Voice Portal. If my subscribers want a function such as this they can either use one of two things.<br>
<ol><li>Remote Office</li><li>BroadWorks Anywhere.</li></ol>
Also increasing the password policies for Voice Portal/Voice Mail Passwords does help, No longer do I allow passwords which are shorter than 5 characters (As most attackers use the default 0000, 1234, 7890 password combinations). <br>
<br>I am in Canada and I haven't found anything I can do besides that. <br><br>Thanks<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 8, 2009 at 10:26, Ujjval Karihaloo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ujjval@simplesignal.com" target="_blank">ujjval@simplesignal.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 15px;">Last time v saw this i tracked this to be a magic jack number, i called back & a person answered & said that he can fix my voice mail for me if i gave him my password. I emailed magicjack support & they never responded.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 15px;">Is there anything we can do to bring these malicious hackers to justice? Any one has experience un this area legally given that these hackers are mostly outside the US. </span></div>
